states? extremely, somewhat, not at all confident? he has gone from december before he took office, 54-45, plus nine, to now minus 22. wow. that is a huge difference. and you see it has been a gradual follow-off since july. so there are growing doubts about obama which are reflected not just in his approval rating, but in a question like this. here is why this is important for the 2010 elections. dating back to even before when i was involved in politics, 1962, what we did is we tracked here the president's job approval rating in midterm elections and then correlated that with the gain or loss in the house of the president's party. so that the box on the right-hand side, when the president's job approval rating is 60-plus, his party generally has a pick up of several shonts. if it is 41, average loss of 41 seats. so what does that tell you about 2010? those who are independent or leaning one way or another, it would be a good time to run a republican campaign, wouldn't it? i mean it is really
